Here's the details on our upcoming show!
I hope you can make it! It's going to be a terrific day. We have lots of beautiful things in the works. Judy has been painting away & making some awesome jewelry for you to stock up on for those special ladies in your life or to treat yourself to something special this season. I'll be posting sneak peaks in the coming weeks! |

Did you know that it costs 1.6 cents to make 1 Canadian penny? Because of this, yesterday, the last Canadian penny was minted. They will eventually become extinct & things will either be rounded up or rounded down.
If you live in Edmonton & have a lot of pennies & are looking to get rid of them, Chris & I would love to buy them off of you.
We need them for the penny posts we're making:
We started this project last year & who knows when we'll finish, but we think the overall effect will be very nice.
One challenge is getting enough pennies for the posts. So, if you want to get rid of your pennies, please consider selling them to us.
1 almost down... 35 more posts to go.
You can reach me at carrie@beadtree.net. Thanks! |

Bird Bathing 101:
Puff yourself up really big so your legs look ridiculously skinny & disproportionate to your body before you dive in. This helps work up your nerves...
Cannonball into the water & splash around like crazy. Do it quickly as it might be cold.
Jump up on to dry ground & if anyone is looking at you, look at them like, "what are you looking at?"
Repeat. |

So, I realized that...
1. This is turning into a yard & bird blog instead of a bead blog. Sorry.
2. That said, I made some nice, new beads. I will show them here soon, but they are not for sale yet. Sorry.
3. We are having a Jewelry & art show ~ June 2nd, which is why the beads are not for sale yet. Sorry.
4. We had a bird INVASION in our yard over the weekend! Here I go again, bringing up the yard & birds. Sorry.
5. I sure say sorry a lot... err, sorry.
But back to the yard & the birds! There were over 20 Robins & 50 to 100 Bohemian Waxwings fighting for the last of berries here & drinking water from the bird bath. For 3 days straight they camped out, swooping, chirping, eating & squawking at each other:
Waxwing: "There ain't enough room in this here yard for the two of us!"
Robin: "What da ya mean? There's lots of room & if you haven't noticed, there's more than two of us here, Bird Brain!"
Waxwing: "Don't get cheeky with me, Dodo!"
Waxwing: "And who's this Loon? You can scram too or I'll bring in my reinforcements!"
Waxwing: "See, I wasn't kidding!"
Waxwing: Huh, what a chicken! "And what are you looking at Turkey?" |
